the claim

Air purifiers that generate ozone can cause respiratory irritation in users.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that air purifiers that generate ozone can cause respiratory irritation in users?

Unclear. Several sources partially support the claim: an EPA page states inhaled ozone causes throat irritation and respiratory symptoms, a peer-reviewed review notes UV air purifiers generate ozone as a harmful side effect, and an ERIC study confirms certain air purifiers emit ozone as a pollutant. None of the placed items directly establishes that ozone-generating air purifiers cause respiratory irritation in users.
